Figure 16: Bitmap graphic linked to I/O, Progress Bar and AGauge
You can make bitmap images more animated by adding Dynamic Labels and GaugeLevel
objects. Dynamic labels are numerical labels that represent I/O values and update continuously.
GaugeLevel objects are dynamic bar gauges that can be placed on top of images to indicate
high/low levels. The example below shows a bitmap image of a well with a dynamic label show-
ing the level in feet, a patterned ContainerFill, and static labels.

The third button on the Graphics tab, Shape, places a simple geometrical shape on your pal-
ette. On the Property Editor, select the Shape box to change to a different shape. The default
shape is a rectangle.
Bevel, the last button, creates a beveled shape. You use Shape and Style on the Property Editor
to alter the beveling.
